	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1778, Johnston.  State property:  surplus.
   (1) Existing law requires each state agency, on or before December
31 of each year, to make a review of all proprietary state lands,
with specified exceptions, over which it has jurisdiction, to
determine what, if any, land is in excess of its foreseeable needs
and report thereon in writing to the Department of General Services.
Existing law transfers to the department jurisdiction of all land
reported as excess.  Existing law requires the department, when
authority to sell or otherwise dispose of lands declared excess is
granted, to sell the land or otherwise dispose of the property
pursuant to the authorization, upon any terms and conditions and
subject to any reservations and exemptions as the department may deem
to be for the best interests of the state.
   This bill would authorize the Director of General Services, with
the approval of the State Public Works Board, to sell, exchange,
lease, or transfer for current market value or for any lesser
consideration authorized by law, specified parcels in Solano County
and in San Bernardino County, and to convey for less than fair market
value a specified parcel in Sonoma County.  The bill would exempt
any sale, exchange, lease or transfer of property described by this
bill from the California Environmental Quality Act and would except
and reserve to the state specified mineral rights.
   (2) Existing law authorizes the director, with approval of the
State Public Works Board, to sell, exchange, lease, or transfer for
current market value or lesser consideration specified parcels in
Fresno, Los Angeles, and Santa Clara Counties.
   This bill would delete the authority to dispose of that parcel in
Los Angeles County.
   (3) Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to
enter into negotiations with the City of Concord on behalf of the
Military Department for the exchange of real property based on
current market value.
   This bill would authorize the Director of General Services, in
consultation with the Military Department, to convey to Plumas County
certain real property for public recreational use only at no cost,
except to reimburse the Department of General Services for costs
related to the transfer.  It would also authorize the director, in
consultation with the Military Department, to convey to Plumas County
real property currently being used by Plumas County as a waste
disposal transfer site at no cost, except to reimburse the Department
of General Services for costs related to the transfer.
   (4) This bill would also authorize the Director of Parks and
Recreation, with approval of the Director of General Services, to
exchange real property at the Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park with
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for real property of equal or
greater value.
